The more tackles - the better! Let's just hope it's your team doing the tackling. Help support your favorite team by eating this great dessert! I created the Tackleberry Tart for a Chicago Bear's tailgating party that I went to. It can be easily made at home and then transported to your favorite tailgating activity.

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Unroll the pie crust on to a parchment paper lined 13 X 18 inch baking sheet; set aside. In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese and marmalade. Add this to the center of the pie dough. Spread to within 1 inch of the sides of the crust. Evenly divide the blackberries and blueberries to the top of the cream cheese layer. Bring the pie crust up 1 inch. Pleat and pinch the crust every 1 inch; set aside. In a small bowl, add the sugar, cinnamon, flour, pecans, and butter. Mix well and sprinkle over the top of the berries. Place tart in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Tart will be golden brown when done. Take tart out of the oven and let cool at least 15 minutes on the pan. After 15 minutes, put the white chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe dish and melt until a drizzle consistency. (About 60-90 seconds) Drizzle the white chocolate over the top of the tart. Serve at any time. Tart can easily be take to the game with you for a bruising good dessert or if you can't make it for tailgating, the tart is great for an at home game party.

Fun, Fruity and Fabu-Lush is how I
would decribe this amazing dessert!
This tart will take tailgating
desserts to new heights. My crowd
of 50+ men, women and teenagers
thought I was "the bomb" after
making this. (I took it to a
football awards banquet.) Great
flavors, prep time took only 9
minutes, and creative use of
marmalade with berries. My
personnal favorite was the white
chocolate on top of it all! The
chocolate with the blueberries are a
great flavor combination and
certainly not one you see often. I
made 4 tarts for the banquet. The
only change that I made was cook two
at a time. One on the medium rack
and one on the lower rack. I
rotated them half way through the
baking. I also cut into 12 wedges
instead of 8. Only because I wanted
more to go around. But the 8 slices
would ordinarily be a perfect portion.
